Insufficient Storage Space Available - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I have Samsung Galaxy SII (Stock ROM - Jelly Bean). Yesterday, when i was trying to download applications i got an error of "insufficient storage". I scrolled down to my Installed Applications section but, there it showed me about 200+ space. I also tried *#9900# and "deleted dumbstate

/logcat" but no gain. I also deleted cache of all applications and move 2 applications to Internal USB Storage but still facing the same issue. Here are the screenshots for your better understanding.

I'm also getting this, not all the time though. Some apps update OK. I'm also on the stock ROM, 4.1.2. I just checked and I have 282 MB free of the 2GB device memory, 5.55GB of the USB storage and about 450MB on the SD card.
For me this started happening about 2 months ago, before that I used to have a 32GB card that I would move most apps to, not sure if that made a difference. That card died and I went back to my old 2GB card. My plan is to put a custom ROM on it, either one of the "slim" ones or CM10 or 11.

So what do you think so? Is it a memory script bug?. I am also in a mood to root but cannot find stock rom for my S2 thats why i am holding my task. My S2 region is COA (Romania - Cosmoto)

I have alot of memory including 200+ mb internal, about 11 GB USB storage & 6 GB of SD Card storage but error persists...

Android blocks installations when free space reaches 10%.
You may change this default - 'sys_storage_threshold_percentage' - to 5% or 2%.
You may also use a modified PIT file to repartition with Odin, but you will have to reinstall everything because all partitions will be reformatted.
Use the following threads:
[mod] How to reduce the threshold for displaying “Low on Space” warnings
[MOD][GUIDE]Partition your internal memory for better App management (Pit Files)

Thanks i will give it a try. Seems complicated.

[QUESTION][GalaxyS2] Questions/Help with internal memory, customized ROM, "true" fact

[QUESTION][GalaxyS2] Questions/Help with internal memory, customized ROM, "true" fact
(1) I need to completely wipe, remove, restore my phone to absolute stock. I am having some weird issues and want a "clean slate" to work off of. I currently have AJK (with custom initd and extweeks), cwm recovery, and cyanogen installed. I want all of it removed and want to start from scratch. What's the best way to accomplish this?
(2) upon completing Q1; I have a very small internal phone memory, somewhere around 1/2gb but I have a 32gb SDcard -- is it possible to format my SDcard to allow it to be used as "phone memory" so I can have more apps installed? I know there is the "move to SD" options, but this is not what I am looking for since this does not work for widget apps. Also I have a difficult time downloading apps without getting the "insufficient space" error via the play store during app installs.
I am so tired of having to uninstall apps just to install or test new ones. There has got to be a way to use my SDcard as phone memory
I have:
- 100mb out of 1.97gb on Internal Storage (/system)
- 7.82gb out of 11.36gb on Internal Storage (/sdcard0)
- 14.84gb out of 29.32 on SD Card (/sdcard1)

So even if I could combine /system and /sdcard0 to become /system and only have 1 sdcard partition would suffice
(3) is it possible to customize/package CyanogenMod to install NovaLauncher (remove/replacing Trebuch) and SwiftKeyboard (instead of AOSP keyboard), amongst other apps (I have the .apk files) so they are installed by default? Also removing apps like Apollo and DSPmanager.
(4) what are some custom scripts, init.d, extweeks, etc you guys are using that I should look into using to get the best performance, battery life, speeds out of the GS2?

[Q] Storage Space Running Out/tried everything

My wifes device is stock/rooted. I've tried moving all the apps to the SD card that I can but it's still showing 4.16GB of apps in internal storage. What can I do to fix this and get everything on the SD card that I can? I have tried Link2SD but it only moves somethings. I just want all user apps, downloads and pictures to default to the SD card.
So, does anyone know how to moved everything to the SD card and make it the default storage location?
5.0.2 does not allow moving everything to SD card like previous versions. You can only move the main app, but all data still needs to be on internal. I had the same issue. I tried updating some apps the other day, and got the error of not enough space, so the only option was to uninstall some apps I hardly used. I'm back up to around 1.2 free. Another thing to do is clear cache a lot. I free up around 400MB each clean. I use two apps for that, and both work great. Apps2SD has more features, and you have to enable the cache clean notification in settings. Cache Cleaner does just that. You can even use CCleaner to see if there are orphaned files/folder that can take up needed space.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.cache.cleaner
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piriform.ccleaner
I just learned that I have the same problem: I moved several apps to the SD card and it's still showing that I have 1 GB of free space. However, when I check which apps I have in the SD card, link2sd shows that nothing's in external memory. Please check the images I attached to this post. The first one shows which apps I supposedly have in the SD card. The other image says otherwise.

Please help me get back my 4GB internal storage.

Hello everyone, I have been using lenovo vibe K5 NOTE from last one month. everything was working fine, but yesterday i found that my internal memory is showing lesser free storage available then usually.
(It has 32 GB ROM, out of which 7.6 GB is always occupied by OS. So 24.4 GB is available for user)
I remember that 4-5 days ago it was showing around 17 GB free space availabe., And around 6-7 GB used space.
But now suddenly it is showing only 13.45 GB available.
But problematic part is used space is still 6.76 GB and remaining 4.19 GB memory is not showing its details.(13.45+6.76=20.21, 24.4-20.21=4.19)
I have confirmed all above with ES file file explorer, Xplore and inbuilt file manager app

I'm sure that is it occupied by some unnecessary system or apps files, so please help me to find release this storage...
Lenovo vibe K5 NOTE.
Not rooted
Android 6.0
I also checked in setting /Apps and confirming that no app is using that 4GB space.
cleanup/purify app like clean master or CCleaner. I could even free some GB of my 16GB phone, so i think these apps really help./
Yes, but I have already checked it. It is showing only around 250 MB of storage can be freeup after cleanup.
After checking several thread what I'm doubtful about is lost+found folder. But rooting my mobile is not possible yet.
So how I can deleted that folder without factory reset, i mean clear cache like thing?? But again problem is phone recovery is in Chinese, and there is no option of clearing cache only
Thanks...

Nearly 1 GB of unknown data appears and I don't know how to get rid of it

Hello all, I need some help.
First of all, my phone is set up with adoptable storage. Before any problems, I had around 3.75 GB used out of 5.51 GB in my phone's Internal Storage. I wanted to migrate data from my SD Card to the phone's actual Internal Storage, so I could format and use the SD card on another phone. I tapped "Migrate data," but it was unsuccessful due to there being not enough space. My phone says "Data left at original location" if I recall correctly. But then the Internal Storage gets nearly full at 5.49 GB used, while all the data still persists in the SD card, unchanged. I've tried multiple reboots, clearing cache and davlink twice, and even deleting many other apps in hopes of updating the storage count, but nothing helped at all. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Use an app called Storage Analyser. It will help you easily identify which file taking how much size. It is very powerful tool and Plots out the storage structure of your devices internal External and System partitions.
Hit Thanks if helped

Thanks, but it did not help, sadly. I think what happened is that some data from the SD Card was copied over to the Internal Storage when I did the migration, but when it failed, it simply left the copy on the Internal Storage rather than deleting it.

[Guide]How to Enable Adopted Storage on Galaxy J530F with Android 7.0 Nougat

This is the way I did it and it works fine,so I should work for you too..
1. First of all you need to go to the Play Store and download the app called Root Essentials,once you have installed it,we can go to the next step..
2. Open Root Essentials and press on Storage tab and then on Adoptable Storage. press Adopt when you are ready to format your card,but it will ask you to download a zip file you have to flash on your phone so you can adopt your sd card,press on the link to there webpage,they will ask you to download and flash a file call ASPlugin.zip.
3. Once downloaded restart your phone in TWRP Recovery and flash the file you just download,wait until it's done and restart your phone and go back to Root Essentials and do what you did in step 2 and press Adopt button wait for it to format the SD card and then you can migrate your data by pressing on the Migrate Data button and wait for to to move your files to your sd card and its done.Now goto Settings>Device Maintenance>Storage and press the 3 dots on the top right and press Storage Settings and you should see it added the sd cards to the total GBs of storage you have on the phone and it's done.
If you see you are running out of space at all just migrate your data again to free up space on Device Memory.
I have now 18.5GB Used out of 30.4 GB total space. Device Memory 10.4 GB used of 16 GB and SD Card 8.1 GB used of 14.4 GB.
See picture..

I hope this helps someone..
It worked, Just made an account to thank you
Android 7.1.1 (SpaceOS) without AS, installed Root Essentials, but apps never format SD and can't even download ASPlugin.zip.
Can you install your apps directly to sd card now, and what about whatsapp folder, is it placed in internal memory or sd card
And if placed in sd card is the whatsapp running without any problem and not creating folders on internal memory
Update - It worked, done all steps now only internal memory is showing, I tried taken 3gb files from shareit, they are received without any problems
My device was of 8gb storage but bcoz of this I have total 32gb of internal storage
Lets hope I do not encounter any problems in future

Well maybe you should have used the adoptable storage enabler zip for the j5 2015 instead of one not for our device. This thread is not for ours, its for a different j5.
